Background of the Study
Employee performance reward systems are critical tools used by organizations to motivate employees, recognize their contributions, and enhance productivity. These systems typically involve financial rewards, such as bonuses and salary increases, as well as non-financial rewards, including recognition, career development opportunities, and other benefits. Zenith Bank, one of Nigeria’s prominent financial institutions, has implemented various reward systems aimed at improving employee performance and job satisfaction.
In Kwara State, where Zenith Bank operates, understanding how performance reward systems influence employee behavior, productivity, and organizational success is crucial. High-performing employees are key to the bank’s growth and competitive advantage in the highly dynamic banking sector. This study seeks to assess how Zenith Bank’s performance reward systems affect employee motivation, productivity, and overall organizational outcomes in Kwara State.
While the link between reward systems and employee performance is well-documented globally, there is limited research focusing specifically on Zenith Bank and its operations in Kwara State. This study will fill that gap by evaluating the effectiveness of Zenith Bank’s reward systems in motivating employees and improving productivity.
